Bryce Lindores - Paralympian & Cycling Champion

Picture Courtesy of VISION AUSTRALIA

Bryce began cycling in 2006; just two years after a car accident left him with a vision impairment. Six days before his 18th birthday, Bryce was sitting in the back of a ute that was towing a car. In an instant, the shackle snapped and hit the Gold Coast teenager in the head, blinding him.

Before the accident, Bryce had led a very active life, playing rugby, tennis and touch football. Six months into his cycling career, Bryce won a bronze medal at the 2006 Cycling World Championships and the same year was awarded the 2006 Queensland Tandem Cyclist of the Year.

His dream is to be a world champion cyclist and he looks to fellow cyclists Lance Armstrong, Robbie McEwen and Nick Gates for inspiration.

Bryce and Steven George rode to glory together at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. Steven has since gone on to race in America leaving a spot open for a stoker. Todd Dawson has taken up the challege however, his career is on the up. Read about Todd Dawson here.
